Abstract

The invention relates to an improved pretilachlor preparation method, which is characterized in that after a pretilachlor crude product is obtained, the following impurity 1 in a system is removed to eliminate emulsification:

Description

Improved pretilachlor preparation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to an improved pretilachlor preparation method.
Background
The pretilachlor belongs to 2-chloracetanilide, is a special bud-phase herbicide with high selectivity for paddy fields, can prevent and remove weeds such as barnyard grass, ox felt and the like in the paddy fields, and has wide application.
The current pretilachlor production process is widely adopted as follows: 2, 6-diethyl aniline and ethylene glycol monopropyl ether react under the action of a catalyst to obtain an intermediate N-propoxyl ethyl-2, 6-diethyl aniline shown in the formula (1), and then the intermediate N-propoxyl ethyl-2, 6-diethyl aniline reacts with chloroacetyl chloride to obtain pretilachlor shown in the formula (2).
It has been reported that the intermediate N-propoxyethyl-2, 6-diethylaniline of formula (1) can be synthesized in one step by the following route (see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4183868 and 4921980):
disclosure of Invention
When the inventor of the present application produced pretilachlor by the above method, it was found that the emulsification occurred in the reaction system in the pretilachlor synthesis step, and particularly when this step was a solvent-free reaction, the emulsification was more serious, affecting the post-treatment of the product.
The inventors tried various demulsification measures, for example, emulsification was eliminated by standing for 1 to 2 days, but such long standing resulted in low production efficiency; emulsification can be eliminated by adding a large amount of solvent, but this treatment method causes solvent residue, and the use of a large amount of solvent increases production cost and increases environmental burden.
In order to better solve the above emulsification problem, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies on the cause of emulsification, and found that emulsification may be associated with impurities generated in the synthesis step of N-propoxyethyl-2, 6-diethylaniline. Based on this idea, the inventors of the present application studied about impurities in a reaction system and a method for eliminating the same, and as a result, found that emulsification can be eliminated by adding an acid to the reaction system after the pretilachlor synthesis step to adjust the pH of the system to be acidic.
Specifically, the present invention provides:
(1) An improved pretilachlor preparation method is characterized in that after a pretilachlor crude product is obtained, the following impurity 1 in a system is removed to eliminate emulsification:
(2) The method of the above (1), wherein the pH of the system is adjusted to 6 or less, preferably to a pH of 1 to 3 by adding an acid to the system, thereby removing the impurity 1 and eliminating emulsification.
(3) The method of the above (1) or (2), wherein the crude pretilachlor is prepared by the following reaction steps:
step one:
step two:
(4) The method according to the above (2), wherein the reaction in the second step is carried out under solvent-free conditions.
(5) The method according to any one of the above (1) to (4), wherein any one or both of the following impurity 2 and impurity 3 are also removed by adding an acid:
(6) The method according to any one of the above (1) to (5), wherein any one or both of the following impurities 4 and 5 are also removed by adding an acid:
(7) The method according to any one of the above (1) to (6), wherein the acid is an inorganic acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, preferably hydrochloric acid.
(8) The process according to any one of the above (1) to (7), wherein the chloroacetyl chloride in the step (II) is 0.98 to 1.05 molar equivalents of the intermediate N-propoxyethyl-2, 6-diethylaniline represented by the formula (1).
(9) The process according to any one of the above (1) to (8), wherein the catalyst in the step one is a catalyst containing 0.05 to 10% of palladium (Pd) or 0.2 to 10% of platinum (Pt).
Detailed Description
The invention relates to an improved pretilachlor preparation method, which is characterized in that after a pretilachlor crude product is obtained, acid is added into a system to adjust the pH of the system to be less than 6, and the pH is preferably 1-3.
The applicant of the present invention has found that the crude pretilachlor product prepared by known methods (for example, U.S. Pat. nos. 4183868 and 4921980) comprises the following impurities:
among these impurities, impurity 1 and impurity 2 are new impurities which have not been reported and have been found for the first time by the inventors of the present application. In particular impurity 1, the inventors have found that it is a hydrophilic, lipophilic, amphiphilic substance, highly correlated with emulsification.
Therefore, the invention adds acid into the reaction system after the pretilachlor crude product is obtained, so that the pretilachlor is converted into salt and enters into the water phase, and the target product pretilachlor is remained in the organic phase, thereby eliminating emulsification, leading the water phase and the organic phase in the reaction system to be smoothly layered, and being convenient for the separation and the post-treatment of pretilachlor products.
Although the above impurities are mainly produced in the step of preparing the intermediate N-propoxyethyl-2, 6-diethylaniline represented by the formula (1), the inventors of the present application have not chosen to remove these impurities by adding an acid immediately after this step, since the intermediate N-propoxyethyl-2, 6-diethylaniline represented by the formula (1) itself is also an amine, and if an acid is added at this stage, it is largely lost.
In some embodiments, the pH of the system is adjusted to 1-6, preferably 1-3, with an acid, whereby the impurities are sufficiently salted with the acid to dissolve in the aqueous phase, thereby achieving a demulsifying effect. When the pH is more than 6, the impurities cannot be completely salified, and the demulsification is insufficient.
In some embodiments, the acid is an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or phosphoric acid, preferably hydrochloric acid.
In the present invention, the crude pretilachlor can be prepared by, for example, the following reaction steps:
step one:
step two:
in some embodiments, the catalyst in the first step is a catalyst containing 0.05-10% palladium (Pd) or 0.2-10% platinum (Pt), and the reaction temperature is 190-270 ℃, and the reaction pressure is 1-2 atm, and the catalyst is performed under the condition of no solvent.
In some embodiments, the reaction of step two is performed in the absence of a solvent. In solvent-free reaction systems, the emulsification is more severe. Thus, the demulsification method of the present invention can be preferably applied to such a solvent-free reaction system.
In other embodiments, the chloroacetyl chloride in step two is 0.98 to 1.05 molar equivalents of the intermediate N-propoxyethyl-2, 6-diethylaniline of formula (1) to ensure that the N-propoxyethyl-2, 6-diethylaniline is fully reacted.
